wtf are you talking about?
there was a reality show about some **** who robbed houses. this was Alexander Munday played by Robert Wagner who was the son of Le Panther the great cat burglar. A convicted felon who works as a thief for the government because one of the agents was the only man who could catch him.
Just as in the Movie it Takes a Thief Interpol and the Police in every city he worked never had had a clue even those who knew who he was.
the current series White Collar is a 21st century version of this show.
the debonair crook working with the feds on his own terms.
